In the model, a source term SMi is formulatedin the Navier-Stokes equations to represent the interfacial momentum transfer and another term Sc is added to themass transfer equation as the source of interfacial mass transfer. The simulation provides the detailed informationof the three-dimensional distribution of liquid velocity on the tray, the circulation area and the concentration profilealong the height of liquid layer.展开更多

The effects of gas jet flow rate, liquid jet flowrate, solid loading, nozzle diameter and axial position on the localεg, V_b and d_b profiles were discussed. The presence of solids atlow solid concentrations not only increased the local εg and V_b,but also decreased the local d_b. The optimum solid loading for themaximum local εg and V_b together with the minimum local d_b was0.16×10^-3 m^3, corresponding to a solid volume fraction ε_S＝2.5/100.展开更多

These data were simulated and compared through several flow mixing models. The modeling results of two-parameter model indicated that there were higher ratio of full mixing zones and lower ratio of bypass flow in AL than in BC. Then a completely mixed-plug flow parallel combined (four-parameter) model was established. Modeling results show that it is more precise and more obvious than two-parameter model.展开更多

They facilitate the evaluation of local phenomena. The local instantaneous liquid velocities at different axial positions of the reactor were measured by using the modified pilot tube.The local liquid-phase turbulent structural parameters such as time-averaged velocity. turbulent nuctuating velocity and turbulent micro scale were calculated with the aid of the statistical theory of turbulence. In particular, effects of liquid jet flowrates and solid loadings on the profiles of the liquid--phase turbulent structural parameter both in the jet effective region and in the tubular region inside the draft tube were discussed.展开更多
